Door handle device

Abstract

A door handle device includes: a base member having handle supporting portions provided between a pair of supporting boards facing each other; a handle grip provided with an arm portion protruding at one end of the handle grip, shaft support portions provided on an extreme end of the arm portion and pivotally supported by the handle supporting portions of the base member, and an operating portion provided at the other end of the handle grip and configured to operate a lever provided on the base member; and a double torsion spring having a restriction portion extending between the pair of supporting boards of the base member, and hooked to the supporting boards of the base member by its own biasing force, in which a recessed portion with which the restriction portion of the double torsion spring is engaged is formed in the arm portion of the handle grip.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A door handles device comprising:
 a base member fixed to a door panel of a vehicle, and having handle supporting portions provided between a pair of supporting boards facing each other; 
 a handle grip provided with an arm portion protruding at one end of the handle grip, shaft support portions provided on an extreme end of the arm portion away from the one end of the handle grip and pivotally supported directly by the handle supporting portions of the base member, and an operating portion provided at the other end of the handle grip and configured to operate a lever provided on the base member, the shaft support portions also fitting between the pair of supporting boards; and 
 a resilient member having a restriction portion extending between the pair of supporting boards of the base member, the resilient member being hooked to the supporting boards of the base member by a biasing force of the resilient member biasing the handle grip toward its initial position before operation, 
 wherein a recessed portion with which the restriction portion of the resilient member is engaged from a top of the arm portion to bias toward the handle supporting portions is formed in the arm portion of the handle grip, 
 wherein the resilient member is formed of a double torsion spring including locking portions provided on ends thereof, respectively, and coil portions provided between the locking portions and the restriction portion, and 
 wherein the supporting boards of the base member are provided with protruding portions which support the coil portions, respectively, of the double torsion spring, and spring locking portions with which the locking portions are locked, respectively. 
 
     
     
       2. The door handle device according to  claim 1 , wherein the arm portion of the handle grip is provided with a sloping face to guide the restriction portion of the resilient member to the recessed portion against the biasing force. 
     
     
       3. The door handle device according to  claim 1 , wherein the protruding portions provided on the supporting boards of the base member are disposed coaxially with a fulcrum on which the handle grip pivots.
